I have done a thing, with actual meaning. That is I've recording myself talking, but I make valid points about how mods and games are doing the same shit as everyone else. Then I counteract all those points by stating that I will be making more videos doing the same shit as everyone else.
It's me in the car, without the crazy spinning steering wheel mount I had before

My audio input just assaulted my audio output. 
Crappy birthday to me,

now I'm off to the office,

Just took a call from a guy in Houston, Texas who seemed a bit up himself. Can any of the yanks in the local area just pop in and sort him out. Cheers.
I already posted a link in the Gaming thread but here is just a little explanation. If you've ever read the Living in Oblivion blog by Chris Livingston (author of the Concerned HL2 comic) you should get the grasp of this fairly quickly.
I have started out in the world of Skyrim, completely avoiding the main questline or any other adventurous outing and instead I am looking to make my fortune in other ways. Ways such as alchemy, hunting, fishing etc. If I need to travel I will do so on foot, no fast travelling and no cart hiring. This makes things incredibly dangerous for a man with no weapons, dressed in rags. Day one was pretty successful but has left me with few options for day two, meaning I will most likely have to travel further into the wilderness. This terrifies me.

Bit of an SnC classic here, packed with YouTube video and pop culture references from around the time it was created. It is also totally mental and everybody dies.

Enjoy.

So, with BF3 currently down in price will any other TWHL members be joining in the fun? The TWHL platoon on Battlelog only has a lowly 10 members? Just think, you could be a part of that AND you get to shoot people in the face.
As of writing, there are now less than 24 hours before Black Mesa is released. After losing and regaining interest a couple of times during it's development, I am now pretty psyched to think it will be available in less than a days time.
BLACK MESA
Do you have any plans? Are you just going to sit and power through it in a single session or play a bit at a time, savoring every moment. Are you having a day off work or school to play it? Are you going to record a let's play, or are you planning to review it?
Personally, I will be going to work as normal since the countdown ends at 15:45 for me. Little point in skipping work to wait around all day. What I will do however is give my wife a call in order to start the download as soon as she can.
As for playing it, I will no doubt play through it in large chunks, maybe 3 sittings, and I plan on recording gameplay in order to do either a "Gentleman plays" series of 10 minute vids or 3 or 4 short highlights videos with captions and whatnot.
So... do tell...

An open taunt to Archie:
Got your tags. Mwua ha ha ha ha.
Remember that time I totally knifed you in the back? That's when I got your tags. Now they're my tags.

A couple of people have been asking about where the Scotch and Coffee website had gone too and when it was coming back.
Welp, last night I finally got around to finishing a little something I've been working on and you can check it out here: SnC Homepage
It's pretty basic in terms of design and functionality, although there is a little box on the right which features some highlights from our SVN log. Actually, it's mostly Archie getting his hair off over GoldSource. Still, fun.
There is also a forum which you can sign up to if you like.

Nearly ten years ago, I remember watching these videos and shitting an entire estate's worth of bricks.
Imagine if Battlefield 3 had been produced with a much lower audio budget. It might have gone something like this...

Urby sits dutifully at his desk, bashing out code, ignoring the clock and just trying to get through the day. He typed for what felt like forever, on into the night. Night turned to day, which in turn, turned to night again. Spring turned to summer, summer to autumn, autumn to winter.
...and then it was 5 minutes later.
God knows webdev isn't the best activity for making the time fly by.

Sooo... when is the TWHL community going to start a full on singleplayer Source development?
I'm sick off all these BETA and horror themed mods that n00b mappers are farting out.

Anyone ever experience one of those random strings of pure terrible luck? Well, last night the world was against me something rotten.
I suffer from hay fever and yesterday I was really suffering. I'm also allergic to dust so I decided that hoovering the house would really sweeten the deal. (I didn't think that but it needed to be done)
Later in the evening, my nose was sore, my throat hurt from sneezing, my senses of smell and taste were gone and my head was pounding. I decided I would clear my head by soaking in a nice hot bath. Now, it was getting pretty late so the sun had gone down. Flicked the switch for the bathroom light and POP, lightbulb dies quite a violent death.
"Awww, for f-"
Unscrewed the light globe and tipped the shards into the bin. Go back downstairs, reach down to open the cupboard to get a new bulb, grab the box and as soon as I stand up straight the bottom of the box falls out and the last spare lightbulb in the house falls onto the tiled kitchen floor.
I should mention at this point, that I was barefoot...
